Why have some of the biggest tech companies shifted away from their once vocal support for woke policies? This sudden change seems to have caught many off guard, but when examined closely, the reasons behind it begin to make sense. Political influence, shifting priorities, and the emergence of new opportunities all play a role.
Conservative commentator Carl Jackson joined The Dennis Prager Show to discuss.
The Impact of Political Leadership on Big Tech
Under former President Trump’s administration, big tech companies appeared to change their approach to certain progressive causes. Could this be tied to the political climate? The answer likely lies in the balance of power. Many of these companies adjusted their policies not out of genuine belief but due to pressure from a government that wasn’t shy about calling out their behavior.
But what happens when the political landscapes shift again? If a Democrat takes office, will these companies revert to their old ways? These are the questions many Americans are asking as trust in big tech continues to erode.
A Growing Backlash Against Woke Corporations
Americans are increasingly fed up with companies that adopt “woke” policies, especially when they feel these corporations overstep their bounds. Whether it’s censorship allegations, political bias, or perceived overreach, people want alternatives.
This frustration has fueled interest in new tech platforms and companies emerging in the United States. The big players—Google, Facebook (now Meta), Amazon—aren’t blind to this trend. They’ve seen what happens when users abandon platforms that no longer align with their values. Alternatives are becoming more appealing to those who feel alienated.
The Appointment that Shook Silicon Valley
A Fox News report recently highlighted the nomination of Gail Slater, a well-respected lawyer, to a prominent position focusing on antitrust and competition law. Slater’s background is what really has big tech concerned. She’s not just any lawyer—she’s worked behind the scenes in Silicon Valley, holding senior roles at major tech firms and serving in government positions.
Slater’s appointment sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley. As soon as the news hit, these companies reportedly held emergency meetings, panicked Slack messages flew back and forth, and Zoom calls popped up across the board. Why the chaos? Companies like Google, Meta, and Apple recognize the threat Slater poses.
Her experience means she’s uniquely qualified to hold them accountable for years of alleged market manipulation and consumer abuse. Big tech’s hope that a Republican president would never truly challenge them has been shattered.
Adjusting Strategies to Protect Their Future
This shake-up might explain why companies like Facebook and Google seem to be pulling back on their more progressive stances. For example, there’s been a noticeable decline in enthusiasm for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. It’s not hard to see these actions as attempts to navigate the changing political and cultural tides.
Leaders in Silicon Valley likely believe these gestures will help soften potential scrutiny under the next administration. They understand that making changes now might earn them some goodwill and protect their dominant positions in the market.
The Role of Leadership in Ensuring Freedom
One of the main points brought up by critics is how a president’s decisions impact Americans’ freedoms. A successful leader, as some argue, is one who leaves office with the country enjoying more freedom than when they started.
President Trump’s supporters believe his actions, such as appointing individuals like Gail Slater, demonstrate a commitment to this principle. By holding big tech accountable, they say, he’s working to ensure the freedoms many fear are slipping away.
What’s Next for Big Tech?
The battle between big tech and policymakers is far from over. The tech giants of today may face increasing competition from new companies eager to challenge their dominance. In a world where consumers demand transparency and fair practices, businesses will need to adapt or risk losing their foothold.
While some may question the sincerity of big tech’s recent changes, one thing is clear: companies are paying attention to the pushback. Whether this marks a long-term shift or a temporary adjustment remains to be seen.
Conclusion
The evolving relationship between big tech and the political world reflects ongoing debates about freedom, fairness, and influence. Americans are holding these companies to a higher standard, and leaders like Gail Slater are stepping up to challenge the status quo.
This moment is an opportunity to reassess how much power should remain in the hands of a few corporations. Regardless of the political climate, one thing is certain—Americans will continue to demand accountability and freedom, and big tech will have no choice but to listen.
